Clear an offscreen with blue color and draw two convex polygons to it, then blit it to the display. Two convex polygons include two images with different image pattern modes.
If using the MIPI interface, connect the LCD displayer to J48 on the MIMXRT1170-EVK board. Connect 5V power to J43, set J38 to 1-2, and turn on the power switch SW5.
Now three LCD displayers are supported, which are defined in display_support.h:
#define DEMO_PANEL_RK055AHD091 0 /* 720 * 1280, RK055AHD091-CTG(RK055HDMIPI4M) */
#define DEMO_PANEL_RK055IQH091 1 /* 540 * 960, RK055IQH091-CTG */
#define DEMO_PANEL_RK055MHD091 2 /* 720 * 1280, RK055MHD091A0-CTG(RK055HDMIPI4MA0) */
Use the macro DEMO_PANEL to select the LCD panel you are using, the default panel is RK055AHD091-CTG configured in the display_support.h:
#define DEMO_PANEL DEMO_PANEL_RK055AHD091
For example, if your LCD panel is RK055MHD091A0-CTG, change the macro DEMO_PANEL definition as following:
#define DEMO_PANEL DEMO_PANEL_RK055MHD091
The source code is in PatternFill.c, where the main function first configures clocks, pins, etc. freerots is deployed in the example. vglite_task is created and scheduled to execute VGLite initialization and drawing task.
And there is picture.h files, which stores image data and information of width, height, stride, and color format:
AT_NONCACHEABLE_SECTION_ALIGN_INIT(static unsigned char picture_raw[], 64) = {
......
}
#define IMG_WIDTH 440
#define IMG_HEIGHT 360
#define IMG_STRIDE 880
#define IMG_FORMAT VG_LITE_RGB565
Before drawing, several functions are executed to do initialization:
-
vg_lite_init
initializes VGLite and configures the tessellation buffer size, which is recommended to be the size of the most commonly rendered path size. In this project, it's defined byerror = vg_lite_init(256, 256);
-
vg_lite_set_command_buffer_size
sets the GPU command buffer size (optional). -
vg_lite_allocate
allocates the render buffer, whose the input parameter is vg_lite_buffer_t structure defining width, height, and color format, etc.
In the initialization of this project, a customized vg_lite_set_image
function configures the vg_lite_buffer_t structure image and sets the memory buffer. The key code is shown below:
static vg_lite_buffer_t image;
static int vg_lite_set_image(vg_lite_buffer_t *buffer, uint8_t *imm_array, int32_t width, int32_t height, int32_t stride, vg_lite_buffer_format_t format)
{
/* Get width, height, stride and format info */
buffer->width = width;
buffer->height = height;
buffer->stride = stride;
buffer->format = format;
/* 'Copy' image data in the buffer */
buffer->handle = NULL;
buffer->memory = imm_array;
buffer->address = (uint32_t)imm_array;
return 0;
}
vg_lite_set_image(&image, (uint8_t *) &picture_raw, IMG_WIDTH, IMG_HEIGHT, IMG_STRIDE, IMG_FORMAT)
The path drawing opcodes (1st column) and arguments (other columns) are defined in the array pathData, such as
static int8_t path_data[] = {
2, -5, -10, // moveto -5,-10
4, 5, -10, // lineto 5,-10
4, 10, -5, // lineto 10, -5
4, 0, 0, // lineto 0, 0
4, 10, 5, // lineto 10, 5
4, 5, 10, // lineto 5, 10
4, -5, 10, // lineto -5, 10
4, -10, 5, // lineto -10, 5
4, -10, -5, // lineto -10, -5
0, // end
};
And vg_lite_path_t structure describes path data's bounding box, quality, coordinate format, etc., such as
static vg_lite_path_t path = {
{-10, -10, // left,top
10, 10}, // right,bottom
VG_LITE_HIGH, // quality
VG_LITE_S8, // -128 to 127 coordinate range
{0}, // uploaded
sizeof(path_data), // path length
path_data, // path data
1
};
In drawing task, there are following functions:
-
vg_lite_clear
clears the render buffer with a solid color (ABGR format). In this project, the rendered area is filled with blue color byvg_lite_clear(&renderTarget, NULL, 0xFFFF0000);
-
vg_lite_identity
resets the specified transformation matrix, which is uninitialized or previously modified by functions ofvg_lite_translate
,vg_lite_rotate
,vg_lite_scale
. -
vg_lite_translate
translates draw result by input coordinates with transformation matrix. -
vg_lite_blit
finally copies the source image to the destination window with the specified blend mode and filter mode, determining the showing of objects. -
vg_lite_rotate
rotates draw result by input angle with transformation matrix. -
vg_lite_scale
scales the transformation matrix in both horizontal and vertical directions. -
vg_lite_draw_pattern
fills the path with an image pattern mode, which replaces thevg_lite_draw
function. There are two image pattern modes below, defined by the vg_lite_pattern_mode enumeration:-
VG_LITE_PATTERN_COLOR: fill the area outside the image with a specified color.
-
VG_LITE_PATTERN_PAD: expand the color of the image border to fill outside area.
-
In this project, vg_lite_identity
, vg_lite_translate
, vg_lite_rotate
, vg_lite_scale
are called to configure the transformation matrix. And vg_lite_draw_pattern
is called to draw path with two image pattern modes, at the first time fills the area outside the image with the 0xffaabbcc color, and the second time fills the outside area by expanding the color of the image border. The key code is shown below:
// Build a 33 degree rotation matrix from the center of the buffer.
vg_lite_identity(&matrix);
vg_lite_translate(DEFAULT_WIDTH / 2, DEFAULT_HEIGHT / 4, &matrix);
vg_lite_rotate(33.0f, &matrix);
vg_lite_translate(DEFAULT_WIDTH / -4.0f, DEFAULT_HEIGHT / -6.0f, &matrix);
vg_lite_identity(&matPath);
vg_lite_translate(DEFAULT_WIDTH / 2.0f, DEFAULT_HEIGHT / 4.0f, &matPath);
vg_lite_scale(25, 25, &matPath);
// Fill the path using an image with the VG_LITE_PATTERN_COLOR mode.
error =
vg_lite_draw_pattern(&renderTarget, &path, VG_LITE_FILL_EVEN_ODD, &matPath, &image, &matrix, VG_LITE_BLEND_NONE, VG_LITE_PATTERN_COLOR, 0xffaabbcc, mainFilter);
// Build a 33 degree rotation matrix from the center of the buffer.
vg_lite_identity(&matrix);
vg_lite_translate(DEFAULT_WIDTH / 2.0f, (3 * DEFAULT_HEIGHT) / 4, &matrix);
vg_lite_rotate(33.0f, &matrix);
vg_lite_translate(DEFAULT_WIDTH / -4.0f, DEFAULT_HEIGHT / -6.0f, &matrix);
vg_lite_identity(&matPath);
vg_lite_translate(DEFAULT_WIDTH / 2.0f, (3 * DEFAULT_HEIGHT) / 4, &matPath);
vg_lite_scale(25, 25, &matPath);
// Fill the path using an image with the VG_LITE_PATTERN_PAD mode.
vg_lite_draw_pattern(&renderTarget, &path, VG_LITE_FILL_EVEN_ODD, &matPath, &image, &matrix, VG_LITE_BLEND_NONE, VG_LITE_PATTERN_PAD, 0xffaabbcc, mainFilter);
Once an error occurs, cleaning work is needed including the following functions:
-
vg_lite_free
frees the allocated render buffer.vg_lite_free(&renderTarget);
-
vg_lite_clear_path
clears path data uploaded to GPU memory.vg_lite_clear_path(&path);
-
vg_lite_close
finally frees up the entire memory initialized earlier by thevg_lite_init
function.vg_lite_close();
Compile firstly, and use a Micro-USB cable to connect PC to J86 on MIMXRT1170-EVK board, then download the firmware and run.
If it's successful, the correct image will show on the displayer:
And FPS information will be sent through UART serial port continuously. The correct UART configuration is
- 115200 baud rate
- 8 data bits
- No parity
- One stop bit
- No flow control
